I learned my rock'n'roll chops in the 70's as a young pup in Montreal, where clubs were open late late late, seven days a week, and anything goes. What an education. We were all vampires, never seeing the sun for weeks on end.
Some of the guys I played with in those days are no longer with us, and it was the death of one in particular a few years ago that hit particularly hard. It was then that I realized those days were truly gone forever. This song is probably the most autobiographical I've ever written.

Last Call In Montreal
(Winters,Sherman)
Pretty young boys from N.D.G.
Got that andro look running free
We're gonna rock that stage again tonight
Gonna live forever in that vampire light
Pretty young blondes come dance and sing along
Drive all the way downtown from Dorion
They see a chance to get a little wild
Break away from their suburban lifestyle
Come on come all
Last call in Montreal
How far can you roam
I think I've seen it all
Last call in Montreal
And I'm a long long way from home
And the dealers and hookers hang out there too
There are hustles to be played
And debts past due
And the bikers say boy
How do you keep the girls coming down
I said man if I knew
I'd bottle and sell it 'round
Come on come all
Last call in Montreal
How far can you roam
I think I've seen it all
Last call in Montreal
And I'm a long long way from home
Come on come all
Last call in Montreal
Even when you win you know you lose
Tell me have you seen it all
Last call in Montreal
We're all on a hundred year cruise
I'm talking about places from long ago
I'm thinking about friends I used to know
Polaroid pictures on a window sill
But I know somewhere
Those boys are rocking it still
